The old bug was about bad code generation, and that was fixed. I don't think
it needs to be reopened.
I can not find any discussion about fixing this issue in any way other than
forbidding it.
I have no problem with forbidding clobbering fixed registers. That is a
related but distinct issue.
I do not think it is helpful to force people to consider pic vs. non-pic
issues. They can still consider them if they choose, but I do not think it is
helpful to force them.
